• Research in journalism education: methodological approaches to researching journalism and journalism education; Developing research bids; Pedagogical approaches in journalism education.
• Future opportunities and challenges for journalism educators: How do journalism educators prepare for a changing world where knowledge and practice are key? How is that balance achieved?
